Run One Program

The Run One Program is your chance to become a train engineer.  This program allows you to get behind the throttle of some of our favorite locomotives. When you arrive at the museum for your experience you will be given instruction by a qualified engineer.  You get a change to look over the locomotive and learn how it works.  Then you will climb into the drivers seat to learn how to take the locomotive out on our mainline for a full hour. Each rental includes one engineer’s cap and certificate of accomplishment plus a huge sense of control!  This is an amazing experience for anyone and makes a wonderful gift.
